Otaru triangle market

The Otaru Triangle Market contains numerous stalls offering fresh seafood, local produce, and prepared dishes within a covered three-cornered structure near the station.

The marketplace emerged in the early 20th century as a commercial hub connecting local fishermen with customers during Otaru's development as a major trading port.

Local vendors maintain traditional methods of preparing and presenting seafood specialties, including raw salmon, king crab legs, and sea urchins from Hokkaido waters.

Located 200 meters from Otaru Station, the market operates from early morning until late afternoon, allowing visitors to select fresh ingredients or enjoy prepared meals.

Customers at specific restaurants can personally select live crabs from tanks, which the staff then prepares and cooks according to their preferences.
